Gilda is titled as a '62 Shasta Compact - I say that because her VIN checks her as a '61, but I don't mind that she lies about her age. I acquired Gilda in February of this year - up until then, she was a he known as "Gilbert." Yes, my trailer has many secrets I suppose. 
I am in the process of transitioning Gilbert to Gilda, and it's a slow, thoughtful process that is going well. It will be a while before I can provide the final touch - painting her exterior. Hopefully, I'll have that done sometime this fall. In the meantime, she (and I) will have to be content to leave her white/black until I can finish her interior, save more money, and finally paint her white/red.
One of the unexpecteds along the way has been purchasing a tow vehicle - my daily driver was not going to cut it, according to my mechanic - so I purchased Gene in April. Gene Gene the Towing Machine continues to make himself useful until the time comes to tow Gilda on many adventures.
I hope to have finished interior photos to show sometime in the next few weeks. I have hired someone to come in and finish what I wasn't comfortable finishing myself, so there have been a few unexpected delays.
Glad Vikx has started this forum and looking forward to hearing everyone's stories!
